Somalia's al Shabaab rebels ban Red Cross

MOGADIHU Jan 30 (Reuters) - Somalia's al Shabaab
rebels have kicked out the International Committee of the Red
Cross (ICRC) from areas that it controls in the south and
central parts of the country, the rebels said on Monday.

"The International Committee of the Red Cross has repeatedly
betrayed the trust conferred on it by the local population and,
in the recent weeks, falsely accused the Mujahideen (Shabaab
fighters) of hindering food distribution," al Shabaab said in a
statement.
